DIANE ROUX (asker) Mar 31, 2006:
I noticed that the word “transitics” was used by non-native English websites and Charlie pointed it out as well. All things considered and given the context of my paper I think “transitics” will be ok. Thank you.
DIANE ROUX (asker) Mar 30, 2006:
I know that the Grand Dictionnaire translates this by "computer-integrated material handling" but I wanted to know if "transitics" could also be used. I found "transitic" as an adjective but not as a noun.
In this context it is related to material handling not to "work flow management"
Tracey Denby Mar 30, 2006:
Could you possibly provide more context. Grand Dictionnaire actually translates "transitique" as "computer-integrated material handling".

But I did find two interesting references to the use of the word "transitics" in this context.

Construction of an automated storage building for the site’s finished products (no personnel present in the building). Four high-ceilinged storage rooms, between packaging and shipping, and deployment of a transitic and transstocker network controlled by a job sequencer, interfaced with the site’s stock management software.


SI systems affected: RIVA, WES (sequencing system), automations, control centre for transstockers
Process system: Transstockers, transitics, transfer line, mechanised bays, monitoring, interlocking, access control
Infrastructure: Cold rooms, Refrigerated bays, HVAC, GTC, GTB

Peer comment(s):

neutral Charlie Bavington : Both these are from non-native English websites. I think the fact that google gives 8 hits (including those two) for transitics versus 17,800 for transitique says it all (i.e 'transitics' isn't the term English speakers use)

You may be right Charlie. Altho the two sites aren't bad & I think the term is comprehensible. After all, we do say "in transit". And Diane's obviously looking for something punchier than "computer-integrated material handling" - a bit of a mouthful.
